Tell It Like It Is |
| I jus` a tell it like it is, yeah |
| I jus` a tell it like it is, oh yeah |
| I`ve got to be blatant in this time |
| Jus` like i know 1 + 1 no make 9 (repeat) |
| Now what was i saying about being blatant |
| You got to be blatant in an argument |
| You got to make sure your feelings are felt |
| Perfect example for you from me Watch lying politicians me seh on me t.v. |
| Pay big big money for the licence fee |
| (at the same time them a try fi fool we) (repeat) |
| I jus` tell it like it is, yeah |
| I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah |
| I`ve got … |
| I`ve got to be blatant in this time |
| Now let me tell me more about being blantant |
| You got to be blatant me seh |
| With product you invent |
| If you don`t patent it You nah see a cent |
| You have no money fi go pay up your rent |
| If you crash fi your car |
| Or you in an accident |
| If it`s not your fault you be blatant |
| I jus` tell it like it is, yeah |
| I jus` tell it like it is, oh yeah |
| I`ve got … |
| Now i get serious about being blatant |
| Police come and mess with me pon the pavement |
| They say oi` where you going, what you doing here? |
| I just leave mi house fi go buy a tin of beer |
| Another example of being blatant |
| South africa police a kill the innocent |
| Fire live ammunition me seh into a crowd |
| If that`s not blatant murder |
| Then murder can`t be found (repeat) |
| (repeat chorus) |
